Hopefully by then, the South African cricket team will have won a tournament, the Olympics will have been held here and so on :wink: Title: Re: 2109 - TRACK THE BOOKS YOU READ!

Those men and women return from the Olympics with arms full of medals and they don't let their so-called disabilities get in the way of winning. They make me very, very proud. :cheers: Title: Re: 2109 - TRACK THE BOOKS YOU READ! Post by: Trevor on January 04, 2019, 02:01:19 AM Oh, well, it got people to respond.

Post by: Alex on January 06, 2019, 09:33:30 AM The core rulebooks for 3.5 ed D&D, as well as the Arms & Equipment Guide. I have the funny feeling I'll be checking them a lot this year.
Title: Re: 2019 - TRACK THE BOOKS YOU READ! Post by: Sitting Duck on January 06, 2019, 09:48:03 AM Late last year, I started on Dean Koonz's Frankenstein series and am currently on the second volume. I got Brandon Sanderson's Reckoners Trilogy for Christmas, so I'll be taking a crack at it in the near future. The Psychotronic Video Guide is something I've been using for bedtime reading, since the short entries make it easy to put down when I get too tired to read. And I've been sporadically working my way through Tom Holland's translation of Herodotus.

Title: Re: 2019 - TRACK THE BOOKS YOU READ! Post by: ER on September 07, 2019, 02:56:16 PM I try to re-read a Jane Austen book every year, and this summer it was Persuasion. Austen is one of those writers who reveals some new depth of genius with each reading. Would that she'd had more time. (And may Heaven have a library's worth of her books!)
